The project

More control over how the home uses energy.

Highway Solar designed and installed a new single-phase 5 kW solar system with 9 kWh of Sigenergy SigenStor battery storage and a Sigen Energy Gateway for blackout protection. Through the mySigen app, the customer can monitor solar generation, battery use, household consumption and grid exports live, giving them a clear view of how their system is performing throughout the day.

Since installation, the household has noticed meaningful savings on its power bills while also exporting surplus solar generation back to the grid. The backup system has already proved its value on multiple occasions, keeping the home powered when grid supply was interrupted in the surrounding area.

What the system delivers
